The students laughed and cheered as they were amazed by the roping and bull whip tricks ….and….they laughed at the antics of “Lucky Joe,” Mr. Rhinestone Roper’s trick

horse. What a show! The students were then led outside for a morning of activities including line-dancing, giant inflatables, a cattle round-up, a gold rush, and many others.

Students earned the chance to attend the activity by completing the required reading challenge within three months. With over 267 children completing the required reading, plus extra miler reading, there were over 4,200 books read. But, most importantly, their minds were expanded, a love for reading increased and the feeling of

success enjoyed by all who participated! Way to go, students of PES! Camp Read A Lot was made possible by donations from many people and businesses. The donations are still coming in to cover costs so contributors will be acknowledged at the end of the school year. A big huge thanks to all those who helped make this day possible for the well deserving children of our community!

Screen-Free Week: Raising “Free-Range Children” in Utah?

SALT LAKE CITY Gone are the days of “freerange children” who race outside to play after school.

However, this week the idea is to get them to try it and to spend time interacting with friends and family. It’s “Screen-Free Week,” an annual effort by children’s advocates to pry kids away from TV and video games, however briefly.

Cheryl Wright, a University of Utah professor who specializes in early childhood development, said it is possible - with interesting activities that satisfy kids’ senses.

“Technology hasn’t advanced so much that it’s allsensory,” she said. “You can’t smell technology, you can’t taste technology. You can’t really feel technology. Sensory experiences are real important for brain development.”

Wright said this is a good week for a family meeting to set the rules for future technol-

ogy use. Adults are also encouraged to take the pledge to swear off TV and DVDs for a week and only use the laptop and smart phone to the extent that they are required for work.

Dr. Susan Linn heads the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood. When her group took over hosting what was called “TV Turnoff” three years ago, she says they changed the name because TV is not the only “bad guy.”

“It’s not even that screens are necessarily ‘bad guys,’ except for babies,” she explained, “but it’s just that there’s too much of them in our lives, and way too much of them in children’s lives, and it’s important to take a break.”

Some studies show that, on average, preschoolers spend 32 hours a week in front of screens. When the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no screen time for children under age two, what’s a modern parent to do?

Shattered: Impaired Driving by Millions of Teens Contributes to Crash Deaths

Wright explained the reason for the experts’ concern.

“The research supports the fact that kids who spend too much screen time have some developmental delays. It can be quite engaging - but it can have some consequences to it,” she warned.

Wright said technology has its benefits, but one-onone interaction beats it hands down in terms of effective learning. For the same reason, she predicted computers will never replace teachers.

To take the “Screen-Free Week” pledge, and for more information, adults can do an Internet search for the topic.

Yes, that means using the computer one more time, but then they are urged to turn it off until May 5.

More information is online at www.commercialfreechildhood.org.

P

rom and graduation season, the Fourth of July, and summer vacation give pause to parents of teenagers everywhere. Why? Because celebration paired with newfound freedom can trigger tragedy on our roads and highways.

Indeed, young people themselves report that these times of year are the most dangerous when it comes to driving. And alcohol and other drugs are primary reasons.

According to new research from SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) and Liberty Mutual Insurance, 23 percent of teens admit to driving under the influence of alcohol, marijuana or other drugs. With 13 million driving-aged teenagers, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, that means as many as 3 million impaired adolescents may be taking to the road.

Ironically, most teens (91 percent) consider themselves to be safe, cautious drivers.

For example, nearly 40 percent claim that alcohol has no impact on their driving. Some even say it helps. And when it comes to operating a motor vehicle under the influence of marijuana, a whopping 75 percent feel the same way.

Specifically, about one in four teens who have driven under the influence of marijuana (25 percent) or prescription drugs (23 percent), and about one in seven teens who report drinking and driving (14 percent), say they’re not distracted “at all” when mixing substance use with driving.

This cavalier attitude toward driving under the influence is made more somber in light of recent data from the Governors Highway Safety Association which found an alarming 19 percent increase

Mother’s Day: Great Tech Gift Ideas for Modern Moms You may not think your mom is “cool,” but is she hip when it comes to technology?

If you have a tech savvy mom, skip the order on the flower bouquet and treat her right this Mother’s Day with the latest gear.

Entertain Her If your mom is a regular traveler, she may need some company. When you can’t join her on her journeys, send her along with the next best thing, a portable media storage and entertainment device. Look for a fuss-free device that requires no data plan or Internet connection to stream.

For example, HP’s new Pocket Playlist streams movies, music, TV shows and photos to up to five mobile devices at the same time. It acts like a home DVR, but is smaller and lighter than the average smartphone.

Or load up Mom’s ereader with some great reads she can take with her wherever she goes. Subscribe her to a magazine or newspaper, or download the complete works of her favorite author.

and stay motivated with a gadget that records physical activity. For example, a FitBit is a wireless activity tracker that counts the user’s steps and calories, synching those stats to a computer or smartphone.

Upgrade at Home If your mom loves watching movies or listening to music from her PC, considering improving her experience. A new all-in-one PC, the ENVY TouchSmart 23 from HP, has an intuitive touch platform that is both a sleek space-saver and a highly-performing machine. Not only does it make for a great entertainment center within the home, it also allows you to remotely play music, videos and more from your mobile devices.

Get Personal In the past you may have helped your mom look chic by adorning her with jewelry.

Now you can do the same by dressing up her technology.

There are plenty of skins out there to fit your mom’s smartphone, notebook and other devices. Don’t worry if you can’t find a design you like. Some companies let you create your own by uploading favorite photos.

This year, there’s no need to disappoint your techie mom.

Show her how much you love her by helping her stay up-todate.

in the number of teen driver deaths (ages 16 and 17) in the first half of 2012.

“The end of the school year and the summer months are exciting times for teens, but they are also the most dangerous,” says Dave Melton, a driving safety expert with Liberty Mutual Insurance and managing director of global safety. “A celebratory toast can quickly lead to serious consequences down the line.

These new data illustrate that there is clearly a strong need to increase the level of education around risk. More importantly, it’s a flag for parents to make sure they talk to their kids regularly about the importance of safe driving behavior.”

His thoughts are echoed

by SADD. “Parents play an incredibly important role in communicating expectations to their teen drivers, enforcing consequences for ignoring family driving rules, and setting a good example behind the wheel,” says Penny Wells, SADD’s president and CEO, who points to Liberty Mutual’s Parent/Teen Driving Contract and SADD’s Contract for

Life as effective conversation starters for parents and their teen drivers.

The good news is that more than 90 percent of teens say their school has a program or policy in place to deter illegal behavior, the most common being security guards or police. Additionally, the use of breathalyzers at school events is up nearly 25 percent. Yet, while school programs play an important role in keeping teens from engaging in dangerous activities, unsupervised celebrations make parent communication about safe driving more critical than ever.

If teens really believe there are no adverse consequences from driving impaired, we have our work cut out for us … lest many more families become shattered from injury and death.

Stephen Gray Wallace, senior advisor for policy, research and education at SADD and an associate research professor and director of the Center for Adolescent Research and Education (CARE) at Susquehanna University, has broad experience as a school psychologist and adolescent/ family counselor.

Girl’s 4X1 Relay Team Beats School Record at the Nyle Norris Invitational Last weekend was the Nyle Norris Invitational in Richfield. A total of twenty high schools came to run, jump, and throw in the sunny weather. It was an incredibly competitive meet with athletes from all divisions. The overall team score for the Girl’s team was 6th. For the 400 meter race, we had four come in right after the other: Catrina took 6th, Hannah 7th, Clarissa 8th, and Maggie 9th. Hannah also took 9th in the 100 meter hurdles for her first time running them and qualified for state. Catrina Johnson took 6th in the 200 meter race and Clarissa Johnson took 8th.

Lauren took 4th in the 3200 meter race, 5th in the 1600 meter, and 7th in the 800 meter race. For girl’s field events, Clarissa took 6th in the girl’s long jump and Jocee Morrell took 10th in the discus and the javelin.

The highlight of the meet was, of course, the girl’s 4X1 team. The two pairs of sisters broke Wayne High’s previous record with a time of 51.94 seconds and they are one second away from beating the 1A state record! Maggie Ellett, Hannah Ellett, Catrina Johnson, and Clarissa Johnson took second behind Springville, a much larger division school. We anticipate the 4X1 team to do very well at state as well and wish them luck as they try and reach the state goal.

The BYU Invitational is finally here! The Badgers will leave tonight for Provo and begin competing Friday and Saturday at the BYU track. This is truly an inspiring event for athletes all over Utah to come and set records and accomplish dreams. Best of luck to the Wayne Track and Field team as they take part in this incredible event!

School Notes Recently Approved in Garfield School District I wanted to update the public on a few items recently approved in the April School Board meeting. The Board approved the purchase of the “Go Math” textbooks for the K-6 Students. Elementary teachers will use a new math program next year with four hours of professional development provided by the publishers.

The School Board also awarded the VOIP phone system to South Central Communications.

With the help of South Central, the District will be installing a phone system that will allow all teachers to have a phone in their classroom. Teachers will have a voice mail system with four digit extensions to anyone in the District. Students will now be able to call from the classrooms instead of going to the office. The phone system will also allow communication between the office and individual classrooms. The new system will be a wonderful asset to the classroom.

The School Board also approved the District calendar for next year; it is on the District web page. There really is not a lot of changes in the District calendar for next year other than Spring Break will be in April with a half day on Tuesday to start Spring Break. Students will return to School on the following Monday, some discussion has been about the Monday for Spring Break, but please be reminded this break falls into the CRT testing window so I suggested to move the vacation day from Monday to Wednesday to allow a full week for CRT testing.

The District has been working on combining the USBA policy manual with the GCSD policies. The Board considered the “D” sections for the second month and scheduled them for adoption in May, but has asked to extend this timeline to allow the employees additional time to review the policies and take additional comments. The “D” policies are directly related to personnel.

If you have any questions about this information or any other question I could answer, please feel free to contact me anytime.

Middle School 7th and 8th Graders Turn 30 for a Day BICKNELL - Wayne Middle School Students were given a financial Reality, in ‘Reality Town’ on April 5, 2013. Each student applied for and received a job with a monthly salary. Then students went to ‘Reality Town’ in the school gym where volunteers from real businesses in the community helped them to make purchases. Students wrote checks for housing, insurance, groceries, childcare, clothing, haircuts, and many other necessities.

Some students needed to get second jobs to make ends meet. Students were surprised by how fast their money went

and by all of the bills that adults are responsible for paying. Many of them better understand the need to get good grades and a good job.

The students and staff at Wayne Middle School would like to thank the following volunteers from the community who worked to make this a memorable, fun and educational event. We couldn’t have done it without you!!

Our volunteers: Don Coombs of Far West Bank; Amanda Brown of Boulder Mountain Reality, Torry Davis of the Wayne Theater, Sheri Clark of Sheri’s Hair, Rachelle Williams of Harward

and Rees, April Torgerson of Double T Construction, Darci Elmer and Jenny Jones from the Wayne County Community Health Center, Jennifer Christensen, from CTE, Tasha Brian from Brian Farm Service Center, Amy Jackson from Jackson Excavation, Don Foutz of IWebConn, Michelle Brian, Trudy Torgerson, and Joni Taylor. Thank you also to Joe Hiskey, of Royals FoodTown for donating the candybars.

Bryce Valley Elementary News

by Maren Stewart, 5th Grade The 5th grade, Mr. Bartons class, went up to Bulldog Bench by Cannonville, We left at 8:15 and hiked up a steep hill. We found lots and lots of fossils. After lunch we sat and talked then we hiked back with pocket loads of fossils, and got on the bus and went back to the school. It was so fun! dMrs. Trista Rich’s class of 6th graders went along with us on this trip.

The fourth grade wants to tell Mrs. Margaret Shakespear how much they appreciate her coming and helping them practice for the 4-8th grade track meet. She has shown us many things and is very helpful. The track meet will be held at BVHS on the 15th of May some come on out and watch us do our stuff.

The fourth grade is preparing for their field trip to Fremont State Indian Park and Cove Fort this week. It is always a fun trip and coincides with what they have been learning about Utah History in the fourth grade.

We have all worked hard on the CRT tests and the Language ones are next. We just finished Science.

We have enjoyed the PE classes given by April Le Fevre and will miss her because this was our last times with her. She is now done for this school year and will be moving on to other things. She had some fun activities planned for us. We did relays and balloon games and it was so much fun.

Core testing has begun.

Last week Science testing took place and this week will be Language Arts. Hope everyone does well. Midterm was also on the 23rd.

Budgeting...Yay

It’s graduation month for all you seniors out there! For some of us graduation will mean college, others missions, and still other jobs. The point is no matter where we go from here, we are pretty much on our own, and this means.....BUDGETING! Yay.... This is something that has been stressing me and stresses adults too! We can do it though! Building budgeting skills is hopefully something we will all acquire in our life times and especially for people who are getting thrown into the thick of things, is crucial.

Here are four easy steps that I’ve taken from others opinion and made my own. First: Gather all your information. This can be anything from a file on your computer to a binder with all your resources. You need a compilation of everything like birth certificates, social security number, and bank accounts. This will help you to know where your money is at and to have those important documents if you are applying for housing or a new job. Second: Keep track of your money! It helps to have a registrar (you will find that you local banks are quite willing to provide you with one), or you can also track your spending online as long as you check your accounts frequently.

Third: Create a budget. Write all of your expenses down on paper (such as how much you will be spending on housing, food, utilities, and other things), recognize your income or how much money you’ve set aside to spend each month, and tailor your expenses to fit you spending money.

And Fourth: Be Proactive! If you’re going to make your budget work you have to stick by it every month! One helpful tip to keep in mind is to remember not to use a credit card or to use it sparingly.

A credit card is great for building credit, but it is extremely easy to go into debt with credit cards especially when you’ve never had one before. If you do get a credit card remember to pay it off at the end of every month!

McKenna Finch is a senior at Panguitch High School.

Testing, Testing, Testing The end of the year is approaching FAST; in fact there are only 16 days of school left, and the end of level testing is about to begin. Some classrooms have already started testing, but most will start on May 6th. Parents please make sure your student(s) get a good nights sleep and a healthy breakfast each day during testing. The community council will be providing class room snack about a half hour before testing each day. With the end of dance and song practice students are beginning the Presidential Physical Fitness program, help your students remember to wear appropriate shoes and clothing on the days they will be running the mile and participating in other fitness activities.

Mrs. Liz Torgerson’s second grade students have been studying the three different forms of matter in science and are wrapping up a poetry unit, “My class has been working on poetry this month. They have each created a different poem using the ipads and we are publishing them right now.” They have also been working hard on improving their fluency and retelling skills, “I hope it pays off because Dibels testing starts today!” stated Mrs. Torgerson on Monday April 22. In Ms. Davis’ class she has been using Mad Libs as a fun way to help her students practice the different parts of speech, “The kids love doing them and get such a kick out of them.” Ms. Davis shared one of the Mad Lib creations with us; Stinky teachers always give out salty assignments.

Michael W. Moore 1953 ~ 2013

BICKNELL Michael William Moore, 59, passed away Friday, April 19, 2013. Michael was born October 20, 1953, in Provo, UT, to William Melvin and Ardith Richards Moore.

Mike graduated from Brighton High School in 1972, moving on to attend the University of Utah. Mike remained an avid all-weather Ute Fan throughout his life.

Reserved, pensive, private, intelligent, trusted, diplomatic, committed, perfectionist, Hermit – each of these describe, in part, the character of Michael Moore. Although not anti-social, Mike was not one to seek out others – friends were naturally drawn to him, and in conversation, Mike was charming, engaging, and enlightening. Most who met him were left with a desire to be around him.

Mike’s loves were the Utes, reading, hiking, fishing, hunting, photography, music, good movies, his Family, his K9 pals, Bicknell Town ‘Yard of the Week/ Year’ awards – did we mention the Utes?

Mike’s dislikes were few, but fierce -- Daylight Savings Time changes and space-invading strangers in the Outdoors.

Mike’s dreams were to climb volcanoes in Hawaii, explore the inland reaches of Alaska, climb to Everest Base Camp, climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, and play the oboe.

Mike never backed down from a challenging situation whether it be landscaping his yard, building a deck, implementing a raised garden, studying for a specific certification, or being stuck in the middle of nowhere with vehicle issues.

The final challenge of his Life, he accepted with grace and dignity. Although his body was taxed with pain, Mike never made a sound to acknowledge. Mike accepted whatever came his way…no complaints.

Michael is survived by his Wife, Lynnette Gotberg Moore, Bicknell, UT; Mother, Ardith R. Moore, SLC, UT; Sisters – Mary Ellen Blowers, Bakersfield, CA; Kelly Lynn (Mark) Davis, Bountiful, UT; nieces, nephews; aunts, uncles, and cousins; trusty pup, Pugzlee (aka Yellow Bonky); also Lynnette’s Mother, LaRue S. Kreek, and Brothers – Scott, Randall, Richard, and Trent Gotberg , their spouses and associated offspring.

Preceded in death by his Father, William Melvin Moore (Bill); Uncle Richard Von Moore (Dragon); grandparents; additional family members; his much loved dogs- Smoky, Beemer, Bonkers, and MokiMoore.

A Memorial Service honoring Michael will be held Saturday, May 4, 2013, 1:00pm in the Thurber Ward Cultural Hall, Bicknell, UT. There will be an opportunity for family/friends to express their memories and thoughts of experiences with Mike.

This is intended to be a casual affair: jeans, -kickers, -poppers, cowboy hats welcome. Anyone interested in helping with setup of tables/chairs, please arrive 45 minutes early.

Call us for your commercial and residential needs, including: septic systems, road building & maintenance, driveways, power trenches, water lines, footings, basements, and more...

TORREY News Adus Dorsey

Folks are out in force and lawn mowers and yard rakes have made a springtime come back in Torrey Town. In what looked like a rodeo event with Ron Moosman on his riding lawn mower and Fred Hansen watching Ron made dizzying tighter and tighter round trips in his yard. Tulips and sprinkling system leaks are popping up everywhere and it is not uncommon to see the most unlikely people standing around a mud pile scratching their heads. The apricot trees are in full bloom and the purple lilac bushes are coming on strong.

With the warmer weather backhoes, mini excavators and Jackson Excavation employees are scampering around town like insects digging large holes and installing maintenance valves and fire hydrants as part of the continuing Torrey Town water system upgrade. As soon as the asphalt plant opens operation road patching will begin. Thanks to the professional services of Layne Jones and his crew the new 250,000-gallon Rainbow tank is safely fenced and in operation providing increased system wide water storage and much improved fire protection to the Sleeping Rainbow residents north of Torrey Town.

The “Tour of Utah” http:// www.tourofutah.com/ planning group with lots of help from Wayne County and the Wayne County tourism director Nycole Durfey continues preparations for the August 7th World Wide event in Torrey.

Course volunteers are needed and interested parties should contact volunteer coordinator Janet Hansen at the Torrey Town Office 425 3600 or torreyutah.gov for more details.

Details of the Wayne County Bike Pedestrian path are becoming clearer and the much anticipated feasibility study is in the final stages of completion. A primary area of safety concern is the stretch of highway from the junction of highway 12 and 24 where “no highway shoulder” exists for pedestrian traffic. Project managers Michelle Williams and Brandon Jenson in conjunction with Engineers

from Lochner and Psomas and Community Planner Marcy DeMillion from (RTCA) Rivers and Trails and Conservation Assistance program and the Torrey representative recently met in Nephi to finalize the study.

A large contingent of Gene Russell’s friends gathered at the Torrey DUP on a beautiful Saturday afternoon the 27th of April to pay their last respects and play music.

Jim and Sandy, Dudley, Jan Stringham, Will Barclay, Steve Lutz and others came together to play some of Gene’s favorite tunes with everyone joining in on the chorus to “Gloria” a Gene-O favorite at parties everywhere.

There is nothing a new place to eat, anticipation is high for the New Broken Spur Inn & Steakhouse brokenspurinn.com (435) 425-3775 near Torrey; celebrated Chef Mitch Radenstein is receiving raving reviews for his delicious dishes and the Broken Spur Inn and Steakhouse restaurant staff is being highly commended for their friendly service. Owners Gary and Francine Hallows are credited with providing a new establishment and Western style atmosphere for a fine dining experience and comfortable, clean accommodations for visitors and locals alike.

In keeping with the parameters of the Torrey Newz and as Rudy Pace calls it the “Torrey Nose”, once again the “Keystone Light” beer can litterbug is at it again. The indiscriminate discarded blue beer cans on the 300 east block looks eerily similar and a slap in the face to the Torrey Town maintenance department that is actively employed and dedicated to maintaining the streets of Torrey Town.

As stealth video surveillance, fingerprint and DNA analysis expressly becomes available and cheaper the “Keystone Light” beer can litterbug will be identified and dealt with accordingly. Neighborhood watch teams are encouraged to remain on alert and report suspicious activity and flagrant littering. “Nobody likes a litterbug”.

As the temperatures and visitors to Wayne County rise the “speed limit” does not.

As inconsistent as the speed limits maybe on highway 24 throughout Wayne County, locals and “out of towners” are reminded to stay alert, particularly in Torrey Town where the UDOT Main Street speed limit is dangerously posted at 35 MPH in the center of town.

Through the dedicated efforts and much appreciation from Torrey Town the Wayne County Sheriffs Department and the Utah Highway Patrol strictly monitors and enforces the speed limit on Torrey Town’s Main-Street. “Slow down, or go down”.

Although according to some, Teasdale is at times diametrically and never considered a distant cousin of Torrey Town, yet in proximity the two towns in Wayne County do co-exist and closely work together.

In doing so a partnership is taking place between Wayne County, the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area and representatives from Torrey for the restoration of the Teasdale DUP (Daughters of the Utah Pioneers) building. Monies and partners are presently

being procured to put “Humpty Dumpty” back together again as a source of Teasdale community pride. For more information on how “YOU” can help support the important Teasdale DUP community project contact Becky Pace.

Wayne County Oral History Project is also presently in place to record and archive Wayne County History through the voices and memories of Wayne County citizens.

To schedule an appointment or learn more about the Wayne County Oral History Project contact Adus Dorsey at (435) 691 0173, (435) 425 3722, or through email at asisadus@ gmail.com support for materials, expenses and project contributions are much needed and encouraged.

Colorful bed sheets and hand made quilts have been recently seen flapping in the Torrey spring breeze, a sure sign that warmer weather is on the horizon. Soon to follow is the sound of backyard garden tillers and the smell of farm grown animal manure, as local residents prepare for spring planting. There is nothing like “Home Grown Tomatoes” and peppers, just ask Dudley and Mary Elliot!

Easy Mexican Casserole 1 pound lean ground beef 1 can Ranch Style beans 1 10-12 ounce bag tortilla chips, crushed 1 can Ro-tel tomatoes 1 small onion, chopped 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided 1 package taco seasoning 1 can cream of chicken soup 1/2 cup water sour cream and salsa for serving Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large skillet, brown meat and drain off fat. Stir in beans, tomatoes, onion, taco seasoning, soup and water. Simmer over medium-low heat until everything is well combined and heated through.

Grease a 9×13 casserole dish. Put down a layer of crushed tortilla chips, followed by a layer of the meat/bean mixture, then half of the cheddar cheese. Repeat layers.

Cover with foil and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until bubbly.

Thanks, Tanya for a easy and delicious supper-time recipe.

Her first priority has always been her family and her children have always been her greatest joy.

While supporting and encouraging her children in their pursuits, Jane says that she was always impressed with Snow College. She had her own dream of eventually training to become a nurse. Jane would obtain catalogs and nursing application packets from Snow to pore over, even to the point of almost having them memorized. When her employment status changed in April 2010, Jane decided that it was time to go after her own college education. She enrolled at Snow College Richfield Campus to begin that path in her life.

Because Jane’s home is in Wayne County, she was delighted to be able to start her college studies online. “Snow College has excellent online classes,” she reports, “and they have helped save the cost of travel and time while achiev-

Jane’s family: Ben and Kayleen Hamilton (Taylor & Jared), Lonni and Ben Koger (Josephine), Jared and Charley Hamilton, Susan and Kurt Adams, Jessica Hamilton ing my education.” She also attended a number of on-campus classes and well remembers the exhilarating feeling that swept over her as she walked into her first college classroom with Professor Erin Jensen. “I love to learn and this experience inspired me to want more knowledge.” She calls the instructors who she has encountered these past three years “remarkable.”

She has also made lifelong friends while attending the Richfield Campus.

Balancing the needs of her husband, children and church commitments with her demanding college studies was a huge challenge, but Jane

learned to prioritize and take one day at a time, trusting that everything would work out for the best. Obviously her strategy worked well. Jane is graduating summa cum laude with her Associate of Science degree and a 3.95 cumulative GPA. She is one of the Richfield Campus’ two honor graduates for the Class of 2013, accomplishing this outstanding academic record while earning top grades in courses like Human Anatomy and Elementary Chemistry.

Jane also found time to celebrate the births of two grandchildren, the weddings of two children, and the fun of family camping and Lake Powell trips.

Jane acknowledges that her husband Rob and her children have been very supportive. They have been her biggest fans and cheered her up when she was unsure of the next bend or bump in the road. They all told her, “You can do it Mom! Keep going!” She can’t believe that she is graduating the same year as her youngest child, Jessica, who finishes at Wayne High School and is preparing to follow the family tradition of heading off to college herself.

Hoping to be accepted to Snow’s Practical Nursing program this coming fall, Jane is eager to take the next step to achieve her dream of a career in nursing. After employment as a nurse she plans to use her skills in humanitarian service as she and her husband pursue their next dream, service as LDS missionaries wherever needed in the world. We all wish Jane the very best as she continues to make her dreams come true.

Snow College Richfield’s Commencement Exercises will be held Friday May 3, 2013 at 1:00 P.M. in the George S. and Delores Dore Eccles Theatre, Sevier Valley Center.

FYI PANGUITCH

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Isn’t this weather great, Saturday out at Bryce Canyon it was 72 degrees. However this is not June, it’s April and we should be getting showers, not this kind of heat. April and May are supposed to be our wettest months and it’s not happening.

It is that time of year: the bus transit workers at Bryce Canyon started their training yesterday and the system will start running next weekend on May 10th. Most of the employees are local and it is good to meet up with old friends, after a long winter. It is always exciting to me to see what Ruby’s Inn (Bryce City) has come up with that is new.

I probably won’t have this in the right order but this is what they have done in the last 5 years: The Grand Hotel, Ebenezer dinner theater, enlarged the camping area with adding number spots and last year the City put in a first class fire station. I believe they are going to put in a hiking trail that leads into the park, which will make it nice for their guests.

With a swimming pool and all their shops they have become a destination city, all they need now is a golf course.

The beauty of Panguitch citizens is their willingness to lend a helping hand when the need arises. The High School Students and Staff are rising to the occasion as they plan and execute a 5 K Run… Run/ Walk for Debbie (Pollock).

Entry fee is $20.00; this includes a T-shirt … No guarantees for the shirt if you register the day of the race. If you don’ want to walk/run just come to show your support. The race starts at the PHS race track,

runs up and around Debbie’s home and loops back to the high school. The Race is Saturday May 11@ 8:00 am come join us to help Debbie fight her battle with cancer. Register online at http://phs.garfk12. org/ or register at the school.

Register the day of the race between 6:15 am to 7:15 am @ PHS 390 E 100 S. Questions call Lisa Johnson @ 590-6400 or Josh Pollock @ 616-9453.

Make checks payable to Running for Debbie.

May 12th is Mothers Day!!! Just in case you did not read your calendar.

There will be a blood drive on May 14th at the Stake Center, from 1:30 to 7:00pm..

Walk ins are always welcome, however if you would like a time, give Jennifer Bremner a call at 676-8211, for an appointment. This is a good way to lose a pound of weight and the Red Cross loves Panguitch, because there are so many generous people here.

Both the Senior Graduation Tea and Seminary Graduation will be held on the 19th followed close by the High School Graduation.

Memorial weekend starts a little early this year on May 25th and Memorial Day is on the 27th. The American Legion and the Auxiliary will be doing the flags again this year and if you have someone that was a veteran and doesn’t have a cross and flag on their grave, please give me a call and we will have one out there shortly.

Every year we leave someone out, so let us know (676-2418).

As always the flowers not attached to the head stones at the cemetery need to be removed. Rob Veater is back

again as our cemetery caretaker and the cemetery board is most grateful for his dedication to this part time job that he gives full time effort to.

Thank again Rob. Our citizens in Panguitch all appreciate your fine skills and are vey proud of the cemetery.

Next month (June) is the start of the summer season in Panguitch and the 15th annual Quilt Walk Festival. Elaine Baldwin will be working with the cast of the play and we can all expect three great nights of entertainment and food.

As usually there will be new cast members. Elaine is urging the old cast members to get out their parts and start going through them so practices time will be shorter. Jerilu Houston and Dianne Fullmer are again heading up the Quilt classes, with instructors from all over the country. The Trunk shows are always fun to go to, with the students showing off all their skills and many prizes that are given out. Jerilu and Dianne are two young ladies who know how to have fun and are eager to get going. If you want to learn quilting or want to sharpen your skills, these classes can’t be beat.

The Panguitch Lions Club will have its first breakfast of the year, on the 8th and it again will be at Zions Bank.

Again this year there will be a Tractor Parade on Main Street and the Tractor Pull down at the fair grounds.

The ever popular Quilt Walk races will follow the parade.

Also the pioneer village will be back with a petting zoo and you can learn the art of making soap, candles and all kinds of pioneer skills.

Pat Oetting (676-2418) has started her search for Pioneer Home’s to show at the Quilt Walk Festival. If you are interested hopefully this information will sway you to show your home. Tour is Saturday from 3-6 pm; June 8th.

It cost $5.00 for the tour and all the donation money goes to “Sub for Santa”. People will not look in drawers or closets.

They are not there to judge your house cleaning. They want to see some of the pioneer’s construction that makes your home unique. If you have not shown your home, please consider doing it this year.

Another “Sub for Santa” event at the Quilt Walk Festival is the Chocolate Fest. It will be held on Wednesday June 5th from 6-8 pm. We will have Chocolate, the best around, a Silent Auction and Entertainment. It cost $5.00 for 3 tickets to use to purchase chocolate. Speaking of chocolate, anyone out there willing to donate a chocolate item for the Chocolate Fest????? Call Pat (676-2418) leave a message. Or just bring it to the Old High School Gym (wrestling gym) the day of the Chocolate Fest. The Silent Auction is looking for donations of items new or slightly used… Clean out your drawers etc for donations. Money raised from the Chocolate Fest will go to the Sub for Santa Fund. (Last year we played Santa to 97 children – thanks to you for your participation in events like these). Our entertainment is in the planning stage and will be advertised soon!

Chance and Jessica took their oldest two, Maren & Cole, and Jessica’s oldest brother, to the Monster Energy Super-cross races at Rice Eccles Stadium last weekend.

This is something Jessica’s family is big into and wanted to share it with their kids!

They got to go early with a pit pass and see all the bikes, and some of the riders before the races started. At the beginning of the races they had some fireworks with the national anthem, announced some of the top riders that showed off, and had big flames to add to the excitement. There was even a rider named Cole that we rooted for! They all had a blast!!!

We send our condolences out to the Feltner’s on the passing of Hobart Feltner.

They held his funeral on Saturday and there were a lot of family members and friends in attendance. Please know that we have the family in our hearts and prayers.

Lyllian Le Fevre and Shauna Mortensen had a fun “Tea Party” activity for the Achievement Day girls in Henrieville.

They learned manners and had wonderful treats. It was decorated so nice and everyone had a great time. Thanks ladies for your hard work.

The Cub Scout Pine Wood Derby was held for the Henrieville and Cannnonville Cubs. They raced their wonderful creations and there were great creative prizes for the races. It was a fun time for all including parents and guests.

Marilyn Rose is retiring from BVES and working with the students as a Reading Coach Specialist and a tutor to many. She will be missed but we are happy she spent so much time with us over the last five years.

The Nathan Clouds had a great wedding reception and the decorations were very creative and wonderful. Congratulations to the couple. They will actually be getting married on Monday the 29th in the St. George Temple. Parents

are Dan and Lanae Cloud of Tropic.

Jacqueline Talbot and Evan Scott exchanged wedding vows on Saturday in the Timpanogus Temple. Congratulations to them. Their reception will be held on May 4th in the Tropic Ward. Parents are Gerald and Shauna Talbot of Tropic.

Sounds like the Bryce Canyon Shuttle will be starting up soon. In fact right away.

This is early so they must be expecting lots of visitors.

The college students will soon be roaming the streets of the Bryce Valley area as they are getting ready to take finals at SUU and other schools around the state. It will be fun having them home for the summer. I miss my grandkids that came to live with us each summer as they are preparing to leave for or are already out on their missions. Have a fun summer all of you college people.

Ernie and Wynona Henderson have been traveling again and having a great time doing it. They went to Ogden to see granddaughter, Nicole Dixon, wife of grandson Cody Dixon, graduate from Weber State University. (Yay WSU) She got her degree in Social Work and was an Honor Student. The couple also has a darling little girl, Sydnee and they are from Roy, Utah.

Saturday found the Henderson’s visiting with Doyle Jackson. He is recovering from foot surgery and is doing well. His wife Joan, fell and broke her femur bone. She is recovering from complications of this fall and is in the Lake View Hospital in Bountiful. While the Henderson’s were visiting with Joan her daughter, Kim and husband Pete May came and they had a nice visit.

Sunday they stopped in at Brian and Trish Dixon’s home to enjoy a delicious BBQ with the family. Some of the people who also stopped in were Kevin and Dorsie Denny, Dallas Henderson, Lynne Granger,

and Cody and Nicole Dixon and daughter, Sydnee. Trish is the daughter of the Henderson’s. It was a great weekend and Wynona gave me her news as they were traveling down the I-15 to get home.

To all SENIOR CITIZENS there is a new scam going on out their in this wonderful world. If you have a Medicare Card and get a call telling you a new one is being sent and they need your bank information. Hang up.

Medicare does not make calls like that and it is a way for them to get your social security number for their use. It has nothing to do with the actual Medicare or obamacare or whatever. It is a SCAM.

Please do not fall for this because you would then have to change everything, including your social security number and bank accounts to prevent problems with them. There is an article in the Spectrum that fully tells about this. Read it and be careful. The bad guys like to come after the senior citizens because they are so vulnerable to them. Never give your information out to someone that calls you for it.

It isn’t a safe practice.

Please have a safe and happy week and remember to call or email your news. It sure helps if you send your news so we can have a column. Thanks VS

tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!!

Today I Will

Notice people.

I will assume not only the best in them, but give them the benefit of doubt.

I will find their good and not their stains. I will tell them what they’re doing right, not wrong.

I will build them up not tear them down.

I will only pass along positive gossip.

I will be loyal to people in their absence and presence.

I will say hello and ask, “How are you?” to everyone I meet? (and do so sincerely and genuinely).

I will celebrate my challenges and trials and see them as opportunities (even ones’ in disguise).

I will stop thinking of only of me and, “Forget myself and get to work.”

I will thank God for keeping me alive another day to serve Him. And I will actually thank Him for all my blessings including the roof over my head, the food I eat, the clothes on my back, the family and friends in my life, the daughter (or son) I’m becoming, for forgiveness, repentance, .actually I will make a list and not stop until I’m exhausted as I know my blessings are countless.

I will help someone in need whether through a personal visit, a phone call, email or text.

I will give away the most important possession of mine and do so anonymously.

I will stop doing, thinking and saying anything that takes me away from doing God’s work and ask myself, “What really takes up my heart, the world or God?” I will forgive my enemies. And I will love and pray for them.

I will walk, think and talk with confidence and faith.

I will love regardlessly.

I will not let mistakes break me, but make me.

I will focus on faith not fear.

I will stand up for someone.

I will never give up and endure to the end (no matter what).

I will, “Change the way I look at things so the things I look at change.”

I will be a cheerleader for someone as well as be my own saying, “You can do this, you are doing this, you will do this!”

I will learn someone’s name and something about them. Then do this with everyone I meet and each time I see them use their name and talk about what it is I know about them all for the sake of making them feel important, loved and valued.

I will be fair, treat people equally and not have favorites.

I will ask, before I think, say and do, “Is this good or useful?” Even if something is true.

I will respect my and others time.

I will be more authentic instead of fictional.

I will write one thank you note or letter a day.

I will find gratitude in everything.

I will lead by example.

I will take responsibility for my choices.

I will focus on what I’ve done right.

I will have the spirit of Christmas love every day.

I won’t be sarcastic, mock, bully, judge, label or ignore.

I will be an extraordinary being because I am.

Travelling Tip

Defensive Driving

One of my co-workers got a speeding ticket and was attending a defensive-driving course to have points erased from her license. The instructor, a police officer, emphasized that being on time was crucial and that the classroom doors would be locked when each session began.

Just after one class started, someone knocked on the locked door. The officer opened it and asked, “Why are you late?”

The student replied, “I was trying not to get another ticket.”

The officer let him in.

Exercise

I’m so tired of exercising.

I think five thousand sit-ups or jumping jacks should be pretty much permanent. You should be at home, you’re on your last and final jumping jack, and you get that phone call, “Congratulations! You have completed the exercise portion of your life.

Welcome to the incessant eating section.”

Here’s a little tip from me to you as an experienced traveler. Wake-up calls are the worst way to wake up. The phone rings, it’s loud and you can’t turn it down.

I leave the number of the room next to me.

It just rings very quietly and you hear the person next door yell, “Why are you calling me?”

Then you get up and take a shower.

It’s great.

Emergency Clinic

It was an absolutely crazy evening at our emergency clinic. The doctor on duty was being bombarded with questions, given forms to fill out, and even asked for his dinner order.

I was in the next room, cleaning up a sutured wound, when I realized the doctor hadn’t given instructions for a bandage.

“What kind of dressing do you want on that?” I shouted through the door.

“Ranch,” he yelled back.

Estate Planning and College Tuition

by Jeffery J. McKenna

Many people do not realize that estate planning and college education goals can be accomplished at the same time.

If you have an estate subject to estate tax, your estate will be subject to a tax starting at 40%. Many individuals with large estates wish to reduce their estate by making gifts while they are alive.

Gifts of up to $14,000 can be given without incurring a gift tax. Although making gifts to others is an effective way to reduce estate tax, it may not sufficiently reduce the estate or the individual making the gifts may be concerned that he or she will eventually need the money.

Saving for college tuition through the new Utah Educational Savings Plan for a child, grandchild or other family or non-family member is an effective way to reduce one’s estate while helping someone obtain a college education.

Utah’s state college tuition savings plan is one of the best in the country for tax savings.

First, a participant in the Utah plan receives state income tax savings for contributions (up to $1,840 per individual, $3,680 if married filing jointly) to accounts established for beneficiaries before their 19th birthday.

Individuals can contribute a total of over $100,000 to a single beneficiary’s account and $70,000 in a single year without incurring a gift tax.

Contributions to the accounts grow tax deferred for both state and federal taxes.

If the proceeds are used for education, the proceeds, when withdrawn, will be taxed at the student’s income tax rate.

The proceeds in the account can be used to pay for college at any institution, whether in or outside of Utah.

Significantly, there is a 10% penalty if the money saved is not used for college expenses. However, if the beneficiary of the account decides he or she does not want to attend college, the account can be transferred to a different family member without penalty.

Attorney Jeff McKenna hiking with his son in Zion National Park

The most important aspect for estate planning purposes is that although assets contributed to state tuition plans are out of one’s estate for estate tax purposes the person contributing the assets can get the assets back if he or she needs them.

The participant would have to pay a 10% penalty but he or she could get the assets back. This is the only estate planning tool that allows one to reduce his or her estate but yet still have the power to reacquire the assets if needed later.

In conclusion, contributions to a Utah Educational Savings account can be a useful estate and financial planning tool.

Elephant and Turtle

My wife got mad at me whe An elephant was drinking out of a river one day, when he spotted a turtle asleep on a log. So, he ambled on over and kicked it clear across the river.

“What did you do that for?” asked a passing giraffe.

“Because I recognized it as the same turtle that took a nip out of my trunk 53 years ago.”

“Wow, what a memory” commented the giraffe.

“Yes,” said the elephant, “turtle recall”.

12-Step Addiction Recovery Meetings are held at the Bicknell Seminary every Thursday @ 7:00 PM

ESCALANTE- It looks like a great weekend to be outdoors in Utah, celebrating the start of the spring hiking season.

Before heading out, however, it’s worth taking some time to get prepared, and expert hiker Roger Jenkins suggests putting together a kit to take along. It includes what he calls the “10 essentials” - no matter if you’re going on a day hike or a multi-day adventure.

Start with a first-aid kit, because Jenkins has found that if you hike enough, eventually, someone will get hurt.

Then add waterproof matches, a knife and rain gear. Topographical maps are next on the list, and that’s the one Jenkins says most people overlook.

“We can get free maps on the Internet for virtually anywhere you want to hike,” he says. “And learn to read a topographical map. It’s much easier than a highway map, believe me.”

He thinks maps are preferable to using a GPS device, with a screen that’s too small to provide much perspective in the backcountry - and maps

don’t need batteries.

Also on the list: a warm hat, extra clothing, a compass, and a flashlight or headlamp.

That’s nine items - and number 10 is your call. Jenkins calls it the “common sense” detail you might want insect repellent, binoculars, sunscreen or toilet paper.

Jenkins says all those items only weigh a few pounds. He’s heard objections about the flashlight from folks headed out on day hikes - but he’s been on rescue crews searching for day hikers who went astray.

“And I can remember looking for some people that were way overdue and they didn’t have a flashlight with them,” he says. “They had missed the trail, they didn’t have a good map with them. If you don’t have a flashlight and it’s pitch-black, it is scary trying to hike.”

Jenkins is using his hiking kit this weekend near Escalante, in southern Utah.

LIFE ELEVATED? I hear the state paid four hundred grand, For a motto which, frankly, I don’t understand.

“Life Elevated” is the phrase of the day, But what does it tell us, anyway?

I guess it’s a slogan that I would choose If I was peddling high-heeled shoes.

Helicopters or elevators, Or ladders, ski-lifts, or escalators.

What’s ‘elevated’? Let me try.

One thing it is is getting high.

Not that the state would ever endorse Recreational pharmaceuticals, of course.

They’re probably trying to emphasize That the future of Utah is on the rise ‘Life’ elevated, I guess, to myself, Is an old picture-magazine on a high shelf.

Practical Money Matters

Share Your Money Before You Die

Dove, Pigeon Hunt Recommendations

by Jason Alderman

Now that the long-debated estate tax rules have finally been settled, let’s get real: Despite all the hoopla raised, most people probably would never be impacted whether the lifetime estate tax threshold had stayed at $5.12 million or reverted to $1 million. In the end, it actually went up a bit to $5.25 million for 2013.

Even if your estate will only be a fraction of that amount, it still pays to have a plan for distributing your assets. If your finances are in good shape, there’s no reason not to start sharing the wealth while you’re still around to enjoy helping others. It also doesn’t hurt that you can reap significant tax advantages by distributing a portion of your assets now.

Before you start doling out cash, however, make sure you are on track to fund your own retirement, have adequate health insurance, can pay off your mortgage and are otherwise debt-free. You wouldn’t want to deplete your resources and then become a financial burden on others.

If you can check all those boxes, consider these options: Avoid the gift tax. You can give cash or property worth up to $14,000 per year, per individual, before you’ll trigger the federal gift tax. (Married couples filing jointly can give $28,000 per recipient.) You’ll probably never have to pay a gift tax, however, since you’re allowed to bestow up to $5.25 million in gifts during your lifetime above and beyond the annual $14,000 excluded amounts before the gift tax kicks in – which for most of us means never. Read IRS Publication 950 (at www.irs.gov) for details.

Pay for education. If college is still far off for your children, grandchildren or others, consider funding a 529 State Qualified Tuition Plan for them. Any interest the account

earns is not subject to federal (and in most cases, state) income tax; plus, many states offer tax deductions for contributions made to their own 529 Plans. And don’t worry: If one child decides not to attend college, you can always transfer the account balance to another without penalty.

Roth IRAs for kids. If your minor children or grandchildren earn income (allowances and gifts don’t count), you may fund a Roth IRA on their behalf. You can contribute up to $5,500 or the amount of their taxable earnings for the year, whichever is less.

Your contributions are made on an after-tax basis but the earnings grow, tax-free, until the account is tapped at retirement.

Fund someone’s benefits.

Many people cannot afford health or other insurance and so forego coverage, putting themselves just one serious illness or accident away from financial disaster. Many also can’t fund their 401(k) plan

May 2, 2013

or IRA. Consider applying your tax-exempt gifts to help loved ones pay for these critical benefits. You’ll not help protect them from catastrophe, but also greatly increase their long-term financial self-sufficiency.

Charitable contributions.

If you’re planning to leave money or property to charities in your will, consider beginning to share those assets now, if you can afford to. You’ll be able to enjoy watching your contributions at work – and be able to deduct them from your income taxes. Read IRS Publication 526 for details.

Before taking any of these actions, consult your financial advisor to make sure your own bases are covered. If you don’t have an advisor, visit www. fpaforfinancialplanning.org for help locating one.

You might be allowed to hunt band-tailed pigeons across Utah this fall.

DWR biologists would like to increase the mourning dove possession limit from 20 doves to 30 doves. The daily dove bag limit would stay at 10 doves.

The following are among the changes Division of Wildlife Resources biologists are recommending for this fall’s upland game hunts: Allowing hunters to hunt band-tailed pigeons across Utah.

Currently, band-tailed pigeon hunting is allowed in 13 of Utah’s 29 counties.

Blair Stringham, migratory game bird coordinator for the DWR, says most bandtailed pigeons are found in southern Utah. “Making the hunt a statewide hunt would make the regulations easier to understand,” he says. “Also, even though pigeons are mostly found only in the 13 counties, hunters who did see a pigeon outside of those counties

Two doves. could legally take it.”

Stringham says bandtailed pigeon numbers have declined since the 1960s. For that reason, biologists are recommending that the daily bag limit be decreased from five pigeons a day to two birds a day.

“If we drop the limit,” Stringham says, “we’re comfortable allowing pigeon hunting across Utah.”

A third change would increase the number of mourning and white-winged doves hunters can have in their possession.

Biologists are recommending that the possession limit increase from 20 doves to 30 doves. The daily bag limit of 10 doves would stay in place.

Keeping the daily dove

bag limit at 10 doves, but allowing hunters to have 30 doves in their possession, would help those who travel a long distance to hunt.

“Instead of having to pack up and head home after two days of hunting,” Stringham says, “you could extend your hunting trip an extra day because you could have 10 additional doves in your possession.”

Starting the dove and pigeon hunt on Sept. 2.

The hunt usually starts on Sept. 1.

“Utah law doesn’t allow a hunt to start on a Sunday,” Stringham says, “so we’re recommending that this year’s hunt start on Monday, Sept.

2.”
